His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 786

And just like that, Niamh and Jonathan walked back to the car, hand in hand.

At the hospital entrance, Ramona’s face was as dark as a thundercloud. “He wouldn’t have actually pulled the trigger! What were you so afraid of?!” she seethed.

Quincy, having been yelled at, shot back irritably, “I was just doing you a favor. I have no quarrel with Niamh. Besides, how do you know Jonathan wouldn't have fired?”

“I…” Ramona started to argue, then sucked in a sharp breath. With anyone else, she would have been a hundred percent certain it was a bluff. But with Jonathan, for some reason, even she wasn’t so sure.

Inside the car, Niamh watched as Jonathan drove while simultaneously calling Prescott to get the private jet ready.

“You’re moving Marlin, Hayes, and Carlotta to Aldenville, aren’t you?” Niamh asked seriously from the passenger seat.

“Yes,” Jonathan nodded, offering no further explanation.

But Niamh didn’t need one. She was currently investigating the circumstances of Keith Lin’s death and his will—a matter that could determine Ramona's fate. If they uncovered something incriminating, a cornered Ramona might lash out at the people close to her, especially now that she had The Vipers' Nest backing her. Niamh was sure it wouldn’t be long before Ramona discovered Marlin’s existence. Keeping him by her side was the most dangerous thing she could do.

She understood the logic, she truly did. And yet… the thought of being separated from her own one-year-old son filled her with a profound sense of loss.

Jonathan knew his decision was cruel to her. But Coralis was the Quinn family’s and the Wallace family’s turf, and with The Vipers' Nest in the mix, he couldn’t guarantee Marlin’s safety, no matter how many men he brought with him. Aldenville was different. There, the Thomas family’s influence could offer Marlin far better protection.

A heavy silence filled the car. After a long moment, Niamh asked softly, “Is he… already on the plane?”

“Yes,” Jonathan confirmed with a nod.
